female attorney general -- [ applause ] -- who succeeded a black male attorney general. [ applause ] it's a long way and a long journey, but we have yet a long way to go. because even as we celebrate that black unemployment is still high, questions of policing and profiling is still before us, economic challenges are still before us, and we still must face those challenges. that is why national action network and others must stay on the forefront of raising these issues. it's not enough torememberdr. kingandnot really try and bring aboutwhatdr. king'spolicieswere all about. when i look over the last 18 months from eric gardner and ferguson to some of our leaders, i wanted some of the young people that were not about headlines but about working and sacrifice to be with us and they are my special guests this morning. brandi and shanae, stand up, from ferguson, missouri. reverend compton lee, stand up. and many of our board members, lamel mcmorris and others that are here, reverend michael walron, the pastor, first corinthian baptist church, the largest growing church in the country, certainly in new york, he's with us. the dean of the civil rights movement, they call it civil rights establishment. somebody said to me the other day i was in the civil rights establishment. i said i've been fighting getting the civil rights establishment all my life. you ain't insulting me. i remember i wasn't even established, let alone in the establishment. wade henderson is with us, the dean. assistant secretary of department of agriculture, joe leonard is with us. where's joe? and the queen of our movement who has done so much for civil rights and gender equality, melanie campbell of the national coaliti coalition. so we want to also, i know they gave the blessing but there's no one more legendary and more in my judgment, more proficient in the ministry who served for decades and who works shoulder to shoulder with my pastor, who mentored me on civil rights, give another hand to reverend h. beacher hicks. at this hour, we face a challenge in front of this supreme court, a court that took out section four of the voting rights act, a court that is now deliberating on the fisher case that could undermine affirmative action. a court that is looking at the case that could undermine labor. we are celebrating king day but we are not celebratory of these times. we must be recommitted because the wrong decisions from this court and the wrong president to succeed president obama giving further seats to those that want to turn back the clock could eradicate allthatdr. kingandthekingeraestablished. we are at risk today but we are also here to put them on notice that we are not going to let them go into the americathatdr. kingandfannie lou hamer and the foot soldiers from the '60s brought us from. you can turn back the clock but you will not turn back time. we are not going back into a divided, hateful america. we fought too hard and we battled too long, and just because barack obama's leaving the white house does not mean we are going to let you change the american house of justice and fairness. we're going to keep marching and we're going to keep working from the streets to the suites topreservedr. king'sdream.that's what we're here to say. i bring our keynote speaker, i'm moving fast, i know that most times at breakfasts you all eat and then hear speeches but we are doing two cities. we are marching in harlem this afternoon so you can eat quie y quietly, use the right fork, slurp your coffee quietly but we are going to move through the program because there are others that are going to be doing your day of servicebecausedr. kingwasaboutservice.dr. kingwasnot about profiling. he was about service. and we want to bring our keynote speaker on. we are also going to hear from the secretary of education and we are honored to have both of them with us this morning and we are going to present awards to those that we have felt have operated in their sphere in the traditionofdr. king. thelady that i am about to present has personifiedwhatdr. king'sdreamwas about. she's the daughter of a minister who excelled in her education and went into law, the law enforcement community or the criminal justice community, but never left a commitment for justice. i remember her when we faced a case in new york. i remember her as she had to make tough decisions, sometimes that the community liked, sometimes they didn't like, but we always found out that she was fair and just. we don't expect people to get in high places and become like others that distorted it, but doing what is popular. we expect them to do what is right, even if it's unpopular with us. she has had the courage and tenacity to enforce the law and stand up for what is right and that iswhatdr. kingwasabout. so it was of no surprise to those of us that knew her in new york, those of us that knew her from north carolina, that the president would have her succeed one of our honorees this morning, our major honeree this morning. she is a woman that if my two daughters could grow to be part of what she is, i would be proud, because she has represented our community and our nation well, and children unborn will read the story of this preacher's daughter that became the first black woman to be the attorney general of the united states at a time that these states needed someone sitting in the seat that robert kennedy and others sat with the balance and the courage to do what the times and the law call for. may we hear from the attorney general of the united states, the honorable loretta lynch. [ applause ] >> well, thank you all for that warm welcome. thank you all for making it out this morning and thank you, reverend sharpton, for inviting me to spend a few minutes with you all today before we all get back to work. delighted to see you, reverend hicks, as well. so honored to be with you. reverend sharpton, thank you so much also for your work over the years. you're right, i have known you since my time as an early young prosecutor and you were always, always bringing justice to the streets of new york and now to the nation. we are so grateful for your guidance and for the group and everything that you all have contributed to, you have been partners in the struggle for years and i know that it will continue. you have been focusing on the right to vote but more than that, you have expanded the notion of the civil rights movementasdr. kingwasexpanding it, to cover not just voting rights but access to education, to employment, to focus on non-violence and you have driven those important conversations. i'm also so delighted to be here with my colleague, john king, and so happy that he's in the chair of secretary of education. reverend, you're right, i am the daughter of a minister. i'm also the granddaughter and the great granddaughter of a minister but i am also the daughter of a teacher and a librarian. those two forces i think are the two that together will lead our country out of the darkness we are seeing today and ultimately save us so i'm so glad that john is here as well. i also am so happy to see my predecessor, my mentor, my friend, attorney general eric holder. when i say the a.g., he is who i think of. i also want to thank reverend sharpton for bringing his board members along as well. i want to thank all of you for being here today. now, we are here as we are every year on this day to pause just for a moment and reflect on the contributions and the extraordinary sacrifices of a transformational leader. we know his story, of course. a young minister from a remarkably young age, he was an unwavering champion of liberty and opportunity and a and a tir proponent of unity and progress. he spoke out for people who had been silenced. he stood up for those who were oppressed. but you know, as wecelebratedr. king'slegacy,over time sometimes in the way that we speak of him, he becomes sort of a static figure. i don't know if anyone has noticed that. he seems to be almost sort of frozen in amber. you know, at a particular moment of time. and when the reality is what he is best known for and what he best achieved was through his actions. he was a man of action. he took action over and over again in the face of violence, in the face of adversity. he went to jail for his actions abwrote one of the greatest tracks and epistles that we have seen since the letters of paul to the corinthians, of course, i refer to the letter from the birmingham jail. and his words and his deeds, his actions were what prodded the conscience of the nation that had long failed to deliver on the promises that were set forth in its founding documents, and of course, he's known for his words. and he termed the days in which he was living the long night of racial injustice and, of course, it was. he and countless other brave men, women and children worked so hard, they took action against jim crow. they took action to tear down the barriers to the ballot box and in doing so, they enshrined new protections of freedom and dignity in our code of law. of course, the voting rights act and the civil rights act of 1964 and 1965. statutes that i am proud to uphold today. and these were extraordinary achievements and it's right that we celebrate them today. but even more than celebrating, even more than remembering his words, even more than enshrining his accomplishments, it is fitting that we act. that is what we are called upon to dotoday.dr. kingknewthat complacency and apathy were as dangerous to the mind as a billy club and a fire hose were to the body. and he also knew and i spoke of this so well that will progress was not inevitable. but belonged to those who were willing to seize the moment. and as he stated so eloquently in that famous letter he knew that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. now, his words and his deeds and those of the millions who stood with him are not the vestiges of history but they're timeless calls to action. they are as fresh and real today as they were in those times, the strategies that he worked on are the strategies that are effective today and that we need to call upon to push that mission forward.now,dr. king'scalland his mission has animated the department of justice since the inception of this administration. and fuels our on going work to ensure that everyone in this country can achieve the full blessings of american life. our revitalized civil rights division, termed by my predecessor the conscience of the department led by our outstanding head va nit ta gupta, is committed to ensuring that acis esto the ballot box is as fair and unencumberedasdr. kingdreamedit would be. now, wherever the franchise is being diminished whether through historical barriers or through newly erected ones, we stand prepared to use every tool at our disposal to protect the sacred american right to vote. the civil rights division is making significant progress -- [ applause ] but more must be done and more will be done. we are also making progress in bringing criminal civil rights cases, as well. over the course of this administration, i am proud to say that we have filed more criminal civil rights cases and prosecuted and convicted more defendants for hate crimes charges than at any other point in the justice department's history. [ applause ] but we also know that we cannot just look outward at what is happening in society to protect our civil rights. we know that we have to protect our civil rights within the criminal justice system that those of us in the department seek to serve. in part, we're doing this by strengthening the relationships between law enforcement and the communities that we serve. but we are also focusing on ensuring constitutional policing across account country. we've launched a variety of new programs and innovative efforts at the local level and the national level including my own six city listening tour to promote community policing, to build the relationships of trust that are so vital to effective law enforcement. but more broadly and most importantly, we are working because we have to. we have to ensure the fundamental fairness of the criminal justice system at every level. at the federal level, we're continuing to implement the smart on crime initiative, a bold reorientation approach begun by my predecessor, attorney general holder in 2013. in its first two years, the smart on crime initiative has not only become a bipartisan rallying point, i will say that after nine months in washington, i found maybe a few things that seemed to inspire a bipartisan connection, but it's also been a resounding success with federal prosecutors, using their resources to bring the most serious wrongdoers to justice but also, also focusing on ways to handle those nonviolent offenders that do not shackle them with the collateral consequences of incarceration far beyond what is necessary and not only is the incarceration rate going down, but so is the crime rate. this is due to the leadership of my predecessor but it's an nishia ittive that i am proud to carry on today because it is one that bes our country, it be of serves our values and it bes our children. but for fairness and justice to be consistent and to have meaning, we have to look at every stage of our criminal justice process and that is why we are also working to end, to end the school to prison pipeline that sent so many of our children -- [ applause ] -- out of school and into the criminal justice system. we have brought cases, we're working with school departments across the country to end zero tolerance policies to review the use of school safety officers and to make sure that all children but especially our children on whom these policies fall most harshly have a chance, a chance to get an education and not a number, a chance to become someone and not a statistic. a chance to be heard and not become those that we try and ignore as they go through our criminal justice system. but we're also investing in diversion programs, treatment programs, looking at evidence-based approaches to public health and criminal justice because if we can focus on it the root causes of why so many of our brothers and sisters take those missteps and lose their way and find themselves caught up as my grandfather used to say in the clutches of the law, we can save not only them, we can save families. we can save not only families, we can save communities. and we can save not only communities, we can save our nation. that's what we can do, that's what we will do. and that's what we must do. [ applause ] but there's more than one level there, as well. we're focusing on those trying to prevent people from going through the system also working on making sure that our prison systems are run fairly, efficiently, looking at thin
